What people say
I purchased this phone because it allegedly a tough phone. Inadvertently left it in my coveralls when I put them in the wash. After a 52 minute wash cycle I retrieved it and noted the phone was searching for a signal. After several days imbedded in rice to assist in the drying process it fired up...
I was really happy with my Rugby, which is only 5 months old...could no longer get the sanyo military which is no longer available so sad......now I have phone with a broken screen that on my counter charging & got hit unknownly from something in my kitchen....you know all that tough equipment......
ive dropped it 6 stories onto concrete, dropped it getting out of my truck and it sat in a puddle for 2 hours, and drove over it with a bobcat and it will not quit. best phone ever
